FYI, Low Down Sound (www.lowdownsound.com) is now a GB dealer and from what they told me, they have a few 6.0's, NEOX 212 & 112's coming in soon.
(I am not related to them in anyway, other than they are about 1/2 mile from my house- bad, VERY BAD!!!)

VERY cool. I'll finally get to spend some time with some of this stuff. +1 on the very bad... it's a short 25 minutes for me:D I'll bring the F1 up, and we can have a 4 pound class D wumpfest!

Well, soon after taking those pics I just posted, I returned the Shuttle 3.0-8t combo and got the 10" combo instead, along with the 10" extension cab. Two reasons, really: 5 strings and drummers. I have a new gig on the horizon that will involve a lot of 5 string electric playing again, which I haven't been doing much of. And that group has drums. Plus my main gig is going to add a drummer. The Shuttle 3.0-10t with the extension will, I think, hang with Scotch Hollow easily, and probably most of the time with the new group as well. It's loud, punchy as all get out, and sounds good down low on the b string also. And throwing the combo on top of the Neox112t instead of the extension 10" is even deeper and richer.

And for bigger gigs, I can run the 2x10 and slave my NeoPak running my Neox212t ... 650 watts into 2x10 + 2x12 will handle anything I need right now. ;)

And I haven't had this much fun with the Stingray 5 fretless in a long time. It's a nice bass, converted from fretted by Mike Lull, and given an epoxy-ish finish like the Pedulla buzz basses. Really sings, and sounds great through this little rig!

Driving it in a rehearsal tonight ... we'll see how it goes.

Cheers

Curious about the 112 on it's side...for visual or sonic effect?

Dennis, you can call me from the gig! That was great! I'd like to talk to you about the Uber a bit as well. I've just been so busy the last few days. I'll have a new baby(literally) in two days! :D

I had the chance to play the 3.0 w/10" cab today, and was absolutely blown away by the sound. And the weight!!! I haven't had the chance to test or actually hold any of the new ultra lightweight heads yet. Amazing when you have pedals that weight more than the amp. The best part was that I thought I finally had myself convinced that I didn't really need to buy one this year. Now I am just waiting for the 6.0 210 to come through.
